I get out my records When you go away When people are talking I miss what they say 'Cause it all means nothing, my dear If I can't be holding you near So tell me you love me 'Cause that's all that I need to hear I sit in my kitchen (George, do the hi-hats now) With nothing to eat With so many friends I I don't want to meet 'Cause I don't need music in my ears I don't need the crowds and the cheers Oh, just tell me you love me 'Cause that's all that I need to hear ♪ I've been told so many times before But hearing it from you means much more So much more ♪ Reply to my message And pick up my calls You see, I wrote you a letter It was no use at all Oh, I don't care if you're insincere Just tell me what I want to hear You know where to find me The place where we lived all these years, oh And tell me you love me That's all that I need to hear Oh, tell me you love me That's all that I need to hear
